Hundreds of children who live in Port Hueneme received a free holiday toy Friday as the city teamed up with local businesses and nonprofits to put on a holiday toy giveaway at the Orvene Carpenter Community Center.

Registration was open to all Port Hueneme residents, regardless of income. Families could register for four days in late November and early December. Children had to be 12 or younger and show proof of residency in Port Hueneme or Naval Base Ventura County or proof that they are students in the Hueneme School District.

The event was sponsored by the city, the Port Hueneme Peace Officers Association, Lujan Transportation, Walmart, REACH Foundation, Hueneme Patient Collective, Tradecraft Farms and the law offices of Charles Green.
